| Characteristic features of aluminum | Special measures |
|---|---|
| Corrosion (ageing) in damp environments. | Store aluminum parts in a dry place. |
| Contact corrosion in event of contact e.g. with steel parts. | Always store aluminum parts separately or in isolation from steel parts. |
| Susceptibility to paint infiltration. | Do not damage protective surface layer since this would cause oxidation. Failure to comply with this requirement would result in more painting work. |
